[DTB-Talk] genuine question about recently added section

[Milton]

Hello All,

Yes, I, too, have noticed this with BARD Talkingbooks.

I suggest that we write to Judith Dixon at jdix at loc.gov and ask for an
explanation of why so many Spanish book and I have even noticed some French
language books being placed there on the new books. The first one to get an
answer should post the response to this list.

Yes, I have noticed this also. It would be nice if there were an English or
Spanish option so that we don't have to fish through all titles to find
English that we want or Spanish that we would want
